It depends: actualy Alexander Savage is properly hard to manage, and it is fun to play.
But all the rest of the game is terribly easy and in the long run, imho, pretty boring.

I'm not tired to say it: I find FF XIV a game with a great potential, but it totally lacks of mid-content.
I'd love to have some hard content to do with just 4 persons of my static logged in, actually I'm logging just for do a boring expert roulette everyday and just 3 nights a week for playing raids with my group.
But this feels to me like a huge waste, this game have such a great potential for become exciting.

Of course I can understand not everybody likes to have hard contents, but i think they should try to please everyone.. And in this moment, IMHO, a mid-core player can't be fully satisfied.
